  1. You throwing neds with weed guards? I put weed guards on mine and i dont lose very many at all.
  2. NOTHINg but problems with Lews spinning reels, I like my Pfluegers as much as my Procyon and they are much cheaper. Bass pro has the Plueger Summit XT on sale for $39 right now. HAvent used it yet but it feels as good as my other Pfluegers
  3. Yes it is an add on. But it only works with the newer Garmin stuff
  4. Wow, did you weigh that beast?
  5. Well if Jordan Lee's Mercury didnt break down on him he wouldnt have made $300K in the classic two years ago. I noticed in 2018 he switched to a Yammi
  6. Did you not like Mercury's GO BOLDLY campaign last year. I didnt really understand it. was it Go Boldly because you may not make it back to the ramp type deal
  7. HAHA in 20 minutes you could be up either arm from there. Its not a very big lake
  8. It will definitely have both DI and side scan. You will be happy with it. I thought it looked just as good on my the HDS 7. Just as clear as my new Garmin
  9. Your right the Structure scan HD uses the LSS2. I don't think the actual skimmer says LSS2 anywhere if I remember right
  10. You should be able to use you transducer you already have mounted back there for the 2d on the HDS when you move it back to the console. The skimmer transducer will run the down and side view. I had the exact same set up as you except mine was a HDS 7... I ran my Elite 7 off my Xi5 and it worked well. And I used the Transducer that came with my Elite for my HDS 2d because the one it came with got busted off
  11. For 4 years ive been driving from Springfield to Goodland Kansas and everywhere in between for work. It really is a horrible place. Although ive driven across Nebraska too so i know it could be worse
  12. I cant find them cheaper than $25 unless you order from Japan
  13. I put 50 on my boat since March. They dont add up as quick as you think. I felt like i was on the water a lot this for me, year 6 or 7 times a month and i tend to run around a lot more than most the guys i know that have boats.
  14. that is a good deal considering you could only buy 1 1/2 megabass's for that
  15. Wow i just cant imagne somthing throwing better than 10lb braid. May have to give some a shot on my Ned set ups. Does it float? And what about line twist? MY biggest fear is that i may like it and it cost me a small fortune to re-rig everything
  16. Whats the advanage of nanofil over braid? If your putting a leader on either way. I cant imagine nanofil out casting or being stronger than braid. Sounds like its a pain in the but if the knots are that critical, not to mention double the price of braid
  17. I was wondering where you've been. Not many other Bull reporters on here. Looks like a nice fish. I hope to get down to Big creek area the week before christmas.
  18. I watched my 3 year old use his bike as a weapon on his mom the other day
  19. I had to honk at 3 different people the other day at green light because there nose was burried in their phones. Phones are the most annoying thing ever. When im out here in Kansas driving I get pretty bored and every car that passes me on the interstate i will glance over at. at least 4 out of 10 will be looking at their phone.
  20. I Travel for a living out in Kansas. I basically travel so other people dont have to. I set up sleep labs in rural hospitals so they dont have to travel to a larger city to get a sleep study. So i guess either way someone is putting miles on. But some of the elderly people cant drive, so me coming to them is a real service. Of course i could move to Kansas and make my travel much less, but after growing up fishing Table Rock, Bull and Lake O......there is no amount of money to get me to move to Kansas. I drive a Newer Toyota Rav 4 now , and have also had a Subaru Outback, both very reliable.
  21. I use the built in Ducer on my XI5 for my elite and it is very clear. I think Dan is running the Xi5 too. Running an extra ducer is a pain on those motors, just no good way to do it
  22. Is your Elite a Chirp? I noticed a big difference in my old HDS7 and my elite 7 chirp
  23. Ive always wanted to figure out a way to test this theory. I remember going in a Berkley trailer once at a show and it had a screen that showed what a bass's vision was like and it was pretty much non existant. Of course Berkley is trying to sell their scented bait. But Hell if they will bite a zinc, lead, or this summer a 5 inch metal spoon, I just dont see how line would be much of a factor. We need to get two guys with ned rigs, one with straight braid and one with flouro and see what happens
  24. Find fish on the a-rig since its a fast way to cover water and when they quit eating it switch over to the jerker. Or i pick one of the other according to depth, easier to get the rig down to 20ft
